I’m selling my Amazon November 23 Puts today
When I bought the November 23 Puts (AMZN181123P01852500) with a strike price of $1852.50 on Amazon on Monday, October 22, I wasn't looking for a severe multiday sell off in the stock market that focused yesterday, October 24, at least, on growth stocks. Instead I was...
For another week when anticipated volatility is running high, here are three volatility plays
The financial markets are expecting another week of volatility almost as severe as last week. The futures market entered last week expecting a move of something like 70 points on the Standard & Poor's 500, according to calculations by Theo Trade. We got almost...

Sector Monday for Sector Monday Week: Streaming media market getting even more competitive, which is bad news for Netflix valuation
Sector Monday is my regular (or occasionally regular) post on the investible trends in a timely sector. I'm filling the first of the two weeks while I'm on break in Sicily (it's nasty work but some has to do it) with a week of Sector Monday posts. Normally these posts...

Did Intel and Amazon finally break the sell on earnings beat pattern today?

All three beat earnings estimates–but this market hasn’t been very generous in rewarding earnings surprises (after Netflix) that is.

What President Trump can actually do about Amazon–and what you should do about Amazon
Another day’s worth of tweets by President Donald Trump attacking Amazon (AMZN) and another day of losses for the stock. At 3 p.m. Monday New York time Amazon shares were down another 5.21% (in the midst of a meltdown in the technology sector, I’d note, so the president doesn’t get all the credit/blame).
